A sport of Hosta 'Francee' with the same clumping form and sporty, dark green leaves but with wider, irregular margins. Tall, lavender flower spikes bloom in mid-summer about the bold foliage. The 18 in. tall x 24 in. wide plant is long-lived, reliable and easy to grow. For best foliage color, grow in moist, well drained, organically rich soil in partial to full shade; preferably with morning sun. The dramatic foliage fit's into the landscape well and can be used as a specimen by itself, to provide contrast within a group of other hosta, as a foundation plant, in the bed, or as an edging, or as an understory plant beneath large trees.

      A:  Hi Skye, the 'Patriot can be planted anytime the ground is not frozen. This perennial is dormant during the winter months and autumn is a terrific time to plant.

          Q:Will this thrive in full sun?

          Answer This Question

          A:  I’ve planted them in both full sun and partial, and they seem to do well in both settings. I’m in plant zone 7A and they get water from either rain or sprinklers. Also, after about 3 seasons they fill out to being much fuller. I’ve some hostas that are 20 years old so next year instead of purchasing more for other areas, I’ll be dividing them just as shoots begin to show in the Spring and replanting.
